Average Rating:
 Rating: - Excellent commentary This book is one of the best commentaries I have ever read. It presents a balanced and well-grounded approach to the Revelation, using the Old Testament visuals to present a profound and, in my opinion, accurate interpretation. "Reversed Thunder" describes the effect and impact of the believer's prayer on the universe. I used this book as one of many while preparing to teach a series on the Revelation. Eugene Peterson's beautiful use of the English language to describe the first century church's ...

Back in my younger days, wrapped in all the scholastic debates (or more accurately 'confusion') about the genre of Revelation, cryptic imageries and numbers, theories about the Beast and the Millenium, crystal-balling the times!, this book rescues me from all of that and puts me in a completely different country where one begins to make sense of this highly misunderstood book of the bible.

The author has a clear overall picture of the book and has the writing skills to express what he sees. He relegates the various confusing symbols to their rightful place, ie. to high-light the overall message about Jesus. I have begun to present this book as gifts to kindred-hearts. Rating: - A Real Revelation"Reversed Thunder: The Revelation of John and the Praying Imagination" is the most significant treatment of the book of Revelation that I have read (or indirectly experienced through such books as the "Left Behind" series). Eugene Peterson, himself a pastor, always works from the understanding that John was also a pastor, separated from his small, beleaguered churches as he endured exile on the isle of Patmos. John was writing to communities gathered around Word and Sacrament; communities that gathered to ... Read More
